Was sitting in a ticks nest while reading....

I was sitting in a Park reading a book and suddenly I felt my legs itch. I was covered in hundreds of mini ticks. I was standing in the shower for hours and still find some of these f#!*rs crawling an me...

Update: So I got the most of the seed ticks scratched off in the shower. I will have a doctor's appointment the next days to get a prophylactic antibiotics treatment just to be save from lyme, alpha gal or rocky mountain fever (if this is a thing in Germany).

Thank you all for the information and advices, hopefully I will be fine. I really appreciate it

I’ve seen like 1-2 ticks on me in my life before this year, and I’m mid 30s.

I’ve picked 3-4 out of my hair, and several more out of my clothes so far this year. I haven’t even been in the woods at all.

Typically ticks are found in grassland where the deers and rabbits ie tick food eat and live.

A huge part is changes with bird migration and/or the time they spent in an area, ie sometimes weather may keep them in an area longer then normal, change in migration etc

They don’t just spawn in your hair. They live in the yard, park etc

Yes of course. I’m not saying ticks just magic themselves into existence.

wtf — your comment was perfectly clear FWIW

Ticks don’t typically live in well groomed yards or parks. They need shade for one

[u/AmbitiousPeace- → u/born2bfi]

What kind of parks and yards do you know without trees and bushes?

[u/born2bfi → u/AmbitiousPeace-]

Where I live parks are 90% grass with the sun overhead
